Chris2012s HQTP Whiterun WIP

This is a high-quality texturing mod (currently for Whiterun). As you can see in the comparison pictures, i try to keep the same feel to the textures while having actual quality instead of bluriness. Some are actually redrawn at 4 times the resolution of the original file.

Currently changed 77 of the most encountered textures, it's a work in progress.

Textures are currently 2048x2048 and 1024x2048.

Here's an article about the mod:

DISCLAIMER: Use it on your own risk! I cannot be held accountable for any loss or damage you manage to cause by using this mod.

That being said, it's a simple texture mod though, so there shouldn't be any issues.

!IMPORTANT! Kenosos says he found a fix for the purple textures and crash on fast travel (apparently you need to have at least 8gb ram for this to work + another user confirmed it to be working).
For those of you who encounter the bug feel free to do this, i however haven't which is rather weird considering my system is mid-range and i also played the game with photoshop running in the background eating up like 500 of my 1gb vram + other resources.

Kenosos said: So I fixed the purple texture problem for myself. I did this, http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=134.

I imagine this will only help if you have 64bit with more than 4GB of RAM though.
